This bowl stands on four feet. Yet these feet are not purely functional. A frog, a Mayan symbol of fertility, is depicted protruding from the sides of the vessel. His legs stretch out and bend at right angles, becoming the legs that support the vessel. Thus the bowl does not stand on its own, but the frog holds it up. The head is rendered with precise details: round eyes bulge out above the wide mouth and sloping nose. The body is depicted as a series of dots framed by the legs, imitating the texture of the frog’s skin. The interior wall of the bowl is decorated by a band of three repeating stylized frog pseudo-glyphs. Here, the ovular mouth and big round eyes peek out from below. A sweeping orange shape crowns the head, possibly symbolizing the body or representing a stylized glyph. The same motif is repeated on the exterior between the frogs’ legs. This vessel is a remarkable for its careful merger of decorative form and useful functionality.
